No replacement has yet been announced for Maj. Gen. Gholam Ali Rashid, reportedly killed on June 17.
According to CNN, Israeli strikes hit northern Tehran, including Jordan Street and the prestigious Shahid Beheshti University. Eyewitnesses described the attacks as the most intense yet. “Jordan Street was heavily hit,” one resident said.
Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant declared that strikes on Tehran would continue “with full force.” Electricity disruptions were reported in southern Israel following Iranian missile retaliation, with 8,000 homes temporarily losing power.
Meanwhile, air raid sirens sounded in Haifa and northern Israel as missiles were launched from Iran. Residents were briefly ordered to take shelter but were later cleared to leave.
